Number of illegal immigrants declines in the USA

The Center for Immigration Studies, in a report published in July, was the first to note that undocumented immigrants were leaving the United States. But the report, ''Homeward Bound,'' attributed departures to increased enforcement.

Later, the Pew Hispanic Center, a research group in Washington, suggested that fewer immigrants were arriving because of the economic slowdown and stricter enforcement. The report said that the illegal population had stopped growing and that it now stood at about 11.9 million, down by about 500,000 from a year earlier.

PS: I still say the best way to attack the illegal alien problem is to penalize and maybe even jail employers who employ illegals. They are just a bunch of greedy scum who want to exploit the poor anyway.

PPS: This just proves that people who say we can't enforce our borders don't know what they are talking about.
